Based EU for once tbf
Thank you for exposing the meat industry! Clearly they're misleading customers too.
Fuck that. If you don't set regulations for what one thing is called, corporations will take advantage of that instantly to sell cheap crap. Regulate food laws. Don't let weird things be called burgers. Let them make up their own name for their processed vegetable matter patties.
Burger describes shape, not what it's made of.
You're talking about a HAMburger.
Hamburgers are named after immigrants from Hamburg Germany.
So no relation to meat at all, unless hamburgers are renowned for packing meat.
They frequently cooked with ground or minced beef. Often put on or in a bun. That eventually evolved into the dish we know today.
I got a hamburger packing meat behind me right now!
Say hi Alfred.
Yeah, ban turkey burgers!
There's burgers with all type of meat or fish, why this is not a problem?
I read that and I'm not to sure I understand the point the writer is trying to make.
Nobody gave a fuck until the meat lobby shaped public perception. Most people only care because they have been manipulated into caring.
Same thing with the dairy lobby. I'm not buying oat milk and thinking "this came from a cow". The fucking performative bullshit the right goes through on a daily basis must be fucking exhausting!
Wow Europeans think a chicken burger contains beef because it says burger there on the menu? Do they think filet mignon is fish because it says filet? Is a pomme de terre an apple or a potato??? How deep does this go???
People are not stupid, even the lobby that says that people think like this do not really believe people think like this. People understand veggie burger is made from veggies just like they understand peanut butter is made from peanuts.
Yes I caught your sarcasm. Yes I still chose to reply without sarcasm.
